& Awarohan
Arohan
is
the
ascending
psychic
passage,
which
starts
from
the
Mooladhara
chakra
• Travels
forwards
to
the
Swadhisthana
kshetram
in
the
pubic
area
• Then
follows
the
curve
of
the
belly
to
the
Manipura
kshetram
• Upwards
to
the
Anahata
kshetram
at
the
centre
of
the
chest
and
Vishuddhi
kshetram
in
the
front
of
the
throat
• Then
in
a
straight
line
to
Bindu
at
the
back
of
the
head.
Arohan
and
Awarohan
join
each
other
at
Bindu
and
Mooladhara.
Together
they
form
an
irregular
shaped
psychic
circuit
in
the
body,
something
like
a
squashed
egg!
These
paths
are
not
imaginary,
but
are
actual
subtle
passages
in
which
Prana
flows.
At
first
we
may
have
to
imagine
the
flow,
but
with
practice
and
the
development
of
more
subtle
perception,
we
can
actually
feel
the
flow
of
Prana
in
these
passages.
We
should
fully
familiarize
ourselves
with
the
exact
route
and
location
of
the
Arohan
and
Awarohan
passages
and
try
to
develop
sensitivity
to
them.
They
are
an
integral
part
of
Chakra
Sadhana
–
and
the
aim
of
this
practice
is
to
balance
the
Prana
that
flows
through
them.
We
have
two
forces
that
animate
us
in
life
—
inhalation
(Arohan
–
ascending
force)
and
exhalation
(Awarohan
–
descending
force).
We
can
feel
this
rising
and
falling
energy
in
our
bodies,
but
it’s
nothing
that
can
be
found
anatomically.
• These
two
forces
and
passages,
Arohan
and
Awarohan,
are
so
important
in
our
lives.
The
inhalation
–
the
front
passage
–
opens
us
and
is
inspirational.
The
exhalation
–
the
back
passage
–
releases
and
lets
go
sending
our
roots
down
into
the
earth.
• When
we
breathe
in,
we
are
inspired,
animated;
this
is
called
Rajas
in
Sanskrit.
• When
we
breathe
out,
we
release,
we
let
go
–
Tamas.
• In
between
these
two
forces,
there
is
a
passage
from
the
top
of
the
head
to
the
middle
of
the
pelvic
floor
called
Bramha
Nadi
(the
innermost
part
of
Sushumna).
• It
is
this
passage
that
is
activated
when
we
are
completely
in
balance,
or
in
a
state
of
Sattva
or
pure
energy.
• When
the
passage
from
the
middle
of
the
brain
to
the
middle
of
the
pelvic
floor
is
enlivened,
we
are
tuning
in
to
inspiration,
intuition,
healing,
and
all
the
things
we
need
in
life.
By
balancing
Arohan
and
Awarohan
this
pure
energy
finds
it
way
into
the
central
line
of
Brahma
Nadi.
And
when
we
feel
the
energy
here
meditation
is
effortless.
To
find
our
way
takes
dedicated
practice
and
finally
Samaprajna
(surrender)…….
